Team Cherished

Cali’s calm presence, incredible eye for detail, and relaxing scalp massage have quickly made her a guest favorite (I mean, who doesn’t need a killer scalp massage?!). Cali graduated Traviss Technical College in 2011 and is a blonding specialist in our salon. She also does an amazing blowout/style. Cali loves to educate you on the proper product usage and gives a styling tutorial every visit in order to help you reach your hair goals! Some of her favorite services include grey blending and lived in/custom colors and she’d love for you to DM her in instagram to book. In her time off Cali loves being with her husband, Brian, her seriously adorable son, Cash and their sweet little Olivia. They love to go to movies and ride all of the latest rollercoasters at the theme parks.

Hannah is one of our advanced stylists who always has a warm smile on her face. Her attention to detail beautifully shapes her craft, both in foiling and cutting. She makes everyone feel special and pampered with her wonderful shampoo massages. Hannah graduated from Traviss Technical College with a cosmetology license and has been in the industry since 2022. Hannah has excelled during her time here and continues to grow her clientele. Hannah loves hair cutting and beautiful dimensional hair color, leaving you with a fresh new style! Outside of work, Hannah loves spending time with her husband and their two GSP pups! In Hannah’s free time she loves to watch sports, paint and watch Disney movies!

Makenna’s joyful and bubbly personality brings such an exciting atmosphere to the salon. Makenna has exceeded in each position of the salon. She began at the front desk then shortly transitioned to assistant while in cosmetology school. She has now graduated from Aveda Institute in Brandon and is quickly filling her books as she’s transitioning to stylist! Makenna is our social butterfly, she loves to talk, loves to meet people, and will jump at any opportunity to sit in an open chair talking to and getting to know our guests. One of her many passions is doing wedding/special event hair and makeup where she creates such a sweet environment for the preparations of their event. She’s our energizer bunny, running at a mile a minute. In her time off she likes to spend quality time with her family and fiancé! Lots of wedding planning for 2026! We are excited to watch this sweet girl grow in her talents, and are so thrilled to have her a part of our team!

Blake is our calming presence that is so devoted to the Cherished team. Blake graduated cosmetology school from Empire Beauty School in 2024. He is always eager to learn new things and strives to be one step ahead so that he is ready to set sail with his clients. He loves doing grey coverage and dark rich colors. Blake is also continuously pursuing his skills in men’s cuts. He loves getting to know new people and connecting with others. He also gives an incredible scalp massage! When he is not with our Cherished family, you can find him at the golf course or hanging out with friends.

We are thrilled to have Mccrae on our team. Mccrae is primarily a licensed esthetician, skincare specialist, and skilled in lash and brow lifts/ laminations but you can also find her a few days a week at our front desk. She’s part of our booth rental team and she specializes in relaxing result driven facial treatments as well as educating clients about skincare. Mccrae graduated from the Beauty and Health Institute of Florida and is always looking to further her education and certifications. Her dream job has been to be an esthetician ever since she was 15 and is so thankful she now gets to help her wonderful clients achieve their skincare goals! Her purpose in this industry will always be to inspire confidence through quality treatments and bringing her clients inner glow to the surface. Outside of work Mccrae loves to travel, go to the beach, and spend time with friends and family.
